One of my favourite disciplines of photography
Product photography is one of my favourite disciplines of photography. Especially so when it's done right. It's taken me a while to get anywhere near happy with the quality of my shots but, slowly and surely, I'm starting to feel happier and happier with them (although
A little different to the regular energy drink
Energy drinks are synonymous with mountain biking. I mean, Red Bull even has its own TV channel. Between those that give you wiiiings (or however they're spelling it nowadays), Monster, and Rockstar there are plenty of big names in mountain biking on the list of people
An exploration in bikes through living for the moment
Anthill have made some exceptional mountain biking films over the years. I'm a sucker for a well-played out story and some excellent cinematics to help it come to life. Of Anthill films, I think the fun and enjoyment of Not Bad perhaps makes it my favourite.
Once this is all over, we’ll get out on a mega ride
"Once this is all over, we'll get out on a mega ride." A few people have said that to me now. It seems a common thread in conversations in Instagram DMs, across WhatsApp groups, and on Twitter. The weather has finally turned and it'd normally be prime

It does mean carrying a ridiculous full-size rucksack about
I love photography. Aside from mountain biking, I'd say it's my favourite hobby and it probably ties on the top spot. I love creating feelings through images - capturing the way something looks is one thing but bringing the image home and tweaking it to make
It won’t surprise you to hear that she thought it was incredible
Red Bull Hardline is one of the most insane courses out there. If you read the piece I wrote about walking it, hopefully it gave you an impression of just how steep and technical the track is. Actually being able to walk down it with Gee
When things get a bit loose, at least I’ll be able to stop now
When my brakes gave up at Llandegla it was time to consider getting a new set. I'd bled them before, had them bled at a bike shop nearby and then had them bled again at One Planet. The resulting change in braking wasn't anywhere near perfect;
